Vegas

Silky Terrier

Durham, NC

Vegas is an 11-year-old Silky Terrier looking to hit the jackpot with a forever family! Once he knows you are nice, he's ready to cuddle, and he has a spunky side and surprising energy for a senior fellow! He is highly food motivated and is ready to dig in when it's dinnertime! He will stand up on his back legs if treats are on offer, and is quite an affectionate little guy. Vegas needs a patient home without young children, but is such a loving little guy. He has dry eyes that require eye drops daily, but he has been a trooper about getting them! He is approximately 23 pounds, loves to go for walks, and would love to meet you!Here is what his awesome foster says about our little man: "Vegas is an eleven-year-old with the heart and soul of a puppy. He plays with toys, balls, and his human as much as he can yet is the best snuggler when it's quiet time. He is crate trained but that is not his favorite place to be by any means. His favorite places are on the sofa watching TV, at the feet of a human whether outside or inside, and at the screen door keeping the patio free of squirrels with his obviously ferocious looks (teddy bears are ferocious looking right?). It's his patio and no tree climbers are allowed. He has spunk and attitude but knows who the alpha dog in his pack is. He LOVES to ride in the car and will sit quietly on the front seat with a smile on his face as we drive anywhere. I have met very few animals so openly happy and loving as Vegas is. He weighs about 22-23 lbs, so isn't a tiny dog but is just enough to snuggle well without overwhelming you. He gets along fine with other dogs and is as enthusiastic about them as he is about his people."If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting Vegas, please click here to submit an application and someone will be in touch!
